Antique Oversized Moud Persian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece represents the pinnacle of late 19th-century weaving from the Khorasan region, renowned for producing some of the finest moud rugs. The intricate, all-over design is characteristic of the sophisticated weaving tradition inherent to Iranian / Persian rugs. The sheer scale of this carpet elevates it from a mere floor covering to a foundational element of design. Its large, oversized dimensions were intended for grand reception rooms or formal halls, allowing the expansive field pattern to be fully appreciated. The density of the knotting ensures both durability and a luxurious, substantial drape. The palette is refined and subdued, utilizing naturally aged dyes that have mellowed beautifully over time.
